The American with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits discrimination based on disability, which includes mental disorders. The ADA also promotes opportunities for individuals with disabilities, including those with mental disorders. The National Mental Health Act (NMHA) established programs to provide research, training, and funding for the prevention and treatment of mental illness. The Developmental Disabilities Act (DDA) provides support and services for individuals with developmental disabilities and their families. The Protection and Advocacy for Mentally Ill Individuals Act (PAIMI) protects the rights of individuals with mental illness in hospitals, prisons, and other facilities. While all of these laws are important in addressing mental health, the ADA is specifically focused on prohibiting discrimination and promoting opportunities.
